Product Information
Full details
The Brooks Glycerin 22 trainers are designed for adult runners seeking maximum impact protection and a spacious, adaptive fit. Featuring the innovative DNA Tuned foam and a high-volume internal construction, these shoes excel at providing a smooth, cushioned ride for daily training. While they offer exceptional comfort for long-distance efforts, users should note that the higher volume fit may feel too roomy for those who prefer a locked-in, racing-style silhouette.

FAQs
Can I use my own orthotics in the Glycerin 22?
Yes, the Linear Last construction provides extra internal volume specifically designed to accommodate orthotics comfortably.
How often should I replace these trainers?
Generally, running shoes should be replaced every 300 to 500 miles, depending on your running style and surface conditions.
Are these shoes suitable for speed work?
The Glycerin 22 is optimized for comfort and impact protection, so while they are capable of various paces, they are best suited for steady-state miles rather than high-speed intervals.
Is this shoe water-resistant?
No, the Glycerin 22 features a breathable mesh upper that allows moisture to enter if running in heavy rain or puddles.
How does the GTS version differ from the standard version?
The GTS (Go-To-Support) models include additional holistic support features to help guide your gait, whereas the standard Glycerin focuses on a neutral experience.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of slipping at the heel
Try a 'runner's loop' or heel-lock lacing technique to increase tension at the ankle.
Foot feeling cramped despite the volume
Ensure the laces are not pulled too tight across the midfoot; the Glycerin 22 has a generous fit that responds better to moderate tension.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Brooks Glycerin 22, replace the factory insert if you use custom orthotics. Because the shoe is built with extra volume, it provides ample space for most corrective insoles. For care, avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can degrade the DNA Tuned foam and adhesive bonds. Instead, remove the sockliner and use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to clear debris from the outsole. If the upper gets wet, stuff the shoes with newspaper and let them air dry in a cool, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight. Regularly alternate between two pairs of trainers to allow the cushioning foam 24-48 hours to rebound to its original state between runs.
